On February 9, the U.S. Court of Appeals in D.C. heard oral argument in Tuana v USA, 13-5272. The issue is whether the 14th amendment confers U.S. citizenship on persons born in American Samoa. The judges are Janice Rogers Brown, Laurence H. Silberman, and David B. Sentelle. Here is a Mother Jones article about the case. Thanks to Howard Bashman for the link.
If the father is a USA citizen, then the kid is a USA citizen — due to ALLEGIANCE stuff — going back to the 4 July 1776 DOI.
ALL inhabitants in the 13 States who were loyal to the DOI became State citizens and thus citizens of the USA.
Many Brit NON-loyal folks in 1776-1783 got purged – traitors, expulsions, attainers, hung, etc.
ONE Hell of a civil war / rebellion.
Place of birth means ZERO.
Various laws/treaties determine if inhabitants of an area taken over by the USA are naturalized and become USA citizens in groups — generally with an allegiance oath to the USA Const.
See laws/treaties regarding the old Louisiana Purchase, former Mexico parts, etc.
Too many SUPER STUPID MORON lawyers and judges in the citizenship cases.
So Demo Rep, you have no problem IF Obama just by chance happened to be born in Kenya?
He’s to fixated on Moron’s to think about kenya.
What was the nation-state ALLEGIANCE of Obama’s father the second that Obama was born — WHEREEVER Obama was born ???
See the Obama wiki — NOT yet edited by Obama, NSA, Donkeys, MORONS, etc.
— to claim that Obama is a direct relative of G. Washington, T. Jefferson, J. Madison, etc.
A bit more –
it took 2 laws of the gerrymander Congress in 1924 and 1940 to naturalize the survivors of the American Indian tribes to become USA citizens.
i.e. the American Indian tribes were deemed internal *foreign* regimes.
The 1940 law likely happened due to the nazi stuff in Germany — purging of Jews, gays, etc.
Don’t blame obama, he doesn’t know where he was born.
